That is not true. Everytime you insert 'Jehovah' in the New Testament, you are,
in effect, changing the Greek text. For neither this word, nor its Hebrew
counterpart, nor the Tetragrammaton EVER occur in the Greek New Testament.

So you are deceiving most shamefully when you claim it "is not change one single
iota".

And in fact, that IS true. For without relying on the NWT mistranslation of John
1:1, you have nothing but equivocation to rely on.

Unfortunately, one of the evil practices of the WTS is to teach their victims to
_accept_ equivocation as truth, so you have never recognized that you have
nothing but equivocation to rely on.

Lip service.

>I seldom quote the NWT on this NG because of the prejudice.

But you _do_ quote it when it comes to John 1:1. Besides: it is not 'prejudice',
it is knowledge. We _know_ the NWT is the most tendentious translation into
English EVER.
